✨oh fuck yeah make pav smell like things

Send me a ✨(or 'sparkle' if you can't see it) and I will answer with what I think your muse would wear as a fragrance! Multimuses, please specify which muse! @ensnchekov

ok so here's the thing. Pavel Andreivich Chekov is not a basic guy, but he is a pragmatist. He's the guy who ditches the designer level stuff because he is making his mark on the world and his cologne should be just as defined. However, I don't see him going especially unique or daring regarding fragrance. I totally see Pavel going in the direction of House of Creed. Its one of the pillars of niche cologne for men. Its a standard that set the standard of fine cologne/fragrance and an old well established house.

Firstly, Creed Aventus is definitely one I feel like Pavel would start off with. I generally don't push or rec Aventus too often because its very common in the 'niche' market, but its a SOLID cologne that suits Pavel with opening notes of fruit. Its fresh and bright with apple, bergamont and pineapple to add a certain crispness. Middle notes take the fragrance more into nature with woody birch, depth patchouli and heady moroccan jasmine and rose to bring that earlier freshness into something more mellow. The drydown is musk, oakmoss, ambergris and vanille which should bring things down into a more smooth musk thanks to the oakmoss. Its a great 'starter' cologne for Pavel especially considering his age. This is very much a wealthy upstanding young professional scent.

I couldn't pick just one so here's #2: Penhaligon's Roaring Radcliff. So I adore Penhaligon fragrances so of course it made the list. However, I don't really see this brand as being Pavel's go-to or aesthetic, but this fragrance is worth mentioning. Opening notes are rum, bergamont and tarragon followed by the next layer of tobacco, ginger and rose. I really like these middle notes for him because of the russian imagery of men smoking tobacco, some of the home remedies involving ginger and of course rose to soften it all out. Its the base notes that I think are very interesting for him because it softens into a leathery, cinnamon, honey-esque scent that turns a little waxy and a little vanilla thanks to the tonka bean.

Honorable mentions go to Frederic Malle's Uncut Gem (a citrusy ,amber earthy scent) & Frederic Malle's Vetiver Extraordinaire (a woody, aromatic citrus) because I feel like Malle is something Pavel grows into. I think its more his aesthetic but the ones above are more early days Pavel on the Enterprise.
